# Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/1032 of 13 June 2016 establishing best available techniques (BAT) conclusions, under Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, for the non-ferrous metals industries (notified under document C(2016) 3563) (Text with EEA relevance), Division BAT 99

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

In order to reduce PCDD/F emissions to air from the smelting of secondary lead and/or tin raw materials, BAT is to use one or a combination of the techniques given below.
Descriptions of the techniques are given in Section 1.10.
Technique
a
Select and feed the raw materials according to the furnace and the abatement techniques used
b
Use charging systems, for a semi-closed furnace, to give small additions of raw material
c
Internal burner system for melting furnaces
d
Afterburner or regenerative thermal oxidiser
e
Avoid exhaust systems with a high dust build-up at temperatures > 250 °C
f
Rapid quenching
g
Injection of adsorption agent in combination with efficient dust collection system
h
Use of efficient dust collection system
i
Use of oxygen injection in the upper zone of the furnace
j
Optimise combustion conditions to reduce the emissions of organic compounds
BAT-associated emission levels: See Table 27.
Table 27
